Freedom on the internet soon to be gone

[meetthecreeper]

Here is a chilling account of internet oppersion as published in an edition of (The London Independent) by author Daniel Howden.

"...China remains the benchmark in censorship. Bejing hs cajoled major U.S. playes such as Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo inot adapting their sites and services to suit the censors. A Chinese Web surfer typing the words 'democracy' or 'freedom' or 'humna rights' into their server will probaably recieve an error message announcing: ' This item contains forbidden speech."'


Some of you may sit around and laugh at this saying tha scenario can never occur here in America, here are some more headlines: "China again tightens control of online news and information..." or "China shuts down 47,000 'harmful' internet cafes." Or "China charges U.S. monopolizes the internet, seelks globalb control" and "EU wants shared control of internet."

Global internet control. What we are actually talking about is "Global control" They are the same thing.

The United Nations is looking to become the internet police "...to ensure a fair sharing of the internet for the benefit of the whole world."

I have never seen the U.N. do anything that benefits anyone but themselves. The internet was invented by the U.S. and noone needs to be in control of it but us.

That being said, our own federal government has now been asking for records from "Google and Yahoo" as well as others to see what U.S. citizens are searching for on the internet. This is all been done under the guise of national security and "its for the children" .

Why does the world government care what I look at??? Porn, horror, gun websites, political thinktanks and so on. Its my business, I am not hurting anyone.

What we can all do and this means "EVERYONE" is write and call our represenatives in government and tell them we do not want any government telling us what we can and cannot do in the privacy of our own homes.

Then we need to send a message to businesses like Yahoo and tell them we do not appreciate them giving information about us to the federal government.

By the way, when Google was asked to turn over this information they told the US govt. to "stick it" Kudos to them.

Sorry for the length but I think this is kind of important.

Holy crow that's a scary picture isn't it? I hate how they're using the tags of "Homeland Security" and "Child Protection." So the UN is thinking about controling the Internet?

Creeper, for you and I, do you see a rising storm? Can you imagine witchvox.com being shut down for political reasons? Stores not being able to sell occult goodies online because "of the children?"

OUR little nitch of the universe here at hdc being erased because we talk about horror movies which are "innapropriate for the children???"

Unfortunately, NC's reps are the kind of people who would push for this type of legislation.

This truly bothers me.
So slowly and for our"best interest" we are having our rights trampled on but since no one has a clue(including me) how to fight this...what's the option??
We can't rely on our government for anything these days and god forbid you actually go out into the private sector and try to make a difference-the apathy is astonishing.

One day we look back at this time as"when freedom started it's death rattle".


I will do what you suggested MTC but I truly think it will reach deaf ears.
And I am glad Google stood up but it is only a matter of time IMO that they find a loophole and go in and do exactly what they want anyway.

Agreed. I think we are dancing precariously on the edge of a razor and life in this country could go either way. We were forced underground once before and survived, we can do it again. Not that I would want to. I am pround of what and who I am.

I believe that there is no difference between politcians, Republicrat or Democan its all about the money and keeping themselves in power.

I know alot of us feel like there is nothing that we can do but someone once said, "It only takes one voice to start a revolution."

Could we honestly not see this comming tho? Since 9/11 weve gone back to McCarthy-ism. Spying on people has now become legal and thgis is the next logical step since the internet is the only bastion left of un censored information and discussion

Pat Robertson IS what is wrong with America today.

He can say whatever the hell he likes, but the problem is so many agree with him.

ANd then he cant even back up what he says. If you really believe that then at least stand up for it, not back down when you get some heat.

Hypocrite.:mad:

Well,the mayor of New Orleans also said they had a hurricane because God didn't want us in Iraq...
They are all legally insane.

I saw it. What I also see is alot of folks who dont see it and or dont care.

3 types of people in the world.

Those who make things happen.

Those who watch things happen.

And those who wonder what just happened.

I dont want to sit around and watch E! television, I like my freedoms thank you.
